Description: I have been photographing weddings in the Washington DC region since 1999. After graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photojournalism in 1998, I began work as a photojournalist.

I never wanted to be a typical wedding photographer. However, when I discovered that people were interested in hiring a photojournalist to document their wedding – to tell the story of the beginning of their marriage – I found my niche, jumped in and never looked back.

I became a photographer with noble ideas of having my images change people’s lives. Occasionally this happens with a photo published in a paper or a magazine, but it is rare. With weddings, however, it is different.

I have one thought when photographing a wedding: I am your eyes. I will be a surrogate memory preserving the small and large moments that make up your wedding. You will have photos that will surprise and amaze you in their intimacy.

Both FOTO WEEK DC and WPJA.com have awarded me for my wedding photography.
